Advances in Embedded ARM processors, for performance

Dimitri works for Marvell, a semiconductors company. Most of the chips they make have to do with networking. I was surprised to learn how many ARM cpus there are out there. ARM processors are optimized for cost, but still very high performance, reaching up to 2Ghz as of this video.

Marvell makes a point of working with compliers like GCC and operating systems like BSD and Linux to make sure all the advanced features of the CPU can be taken advantage of.

Marvell also makes a plug computer. A small computer that plugs into an outlet. Seems like its a micro server that fits in a plug and is designed to work in a home setting. The entire plug computer consumes less than 15 watts of power.
